Welcome to 2006: The Iranian Year

Be sure to read Target Iran by Arnaud de Bourchgrave today. He begins with instructive words of clarity as he introduces readers to 2006, what could become known as 'The Iranian Year' in international security circles.

If anyone has any doubt about the kind of nuclear work Iran has been doing for the past 18 years, it must be a case of naivete compounded by gullibility.

Nor should there be any uncertainty about what Iran's mullahocracy would do with a nuclear weapon. All of Iran's leaders since the Ayatollah Rohollah Khomeini replaced the shah in February 1979 have made it clear the objective is Israel's destruction.
